OK, I did the Kitsune a while back, so here's their counterparts, the Tanuki, raccoons!

Medium Ousiders
+4 Con, +2 Wis, -2 Int, -2 Dex, -2 Cha
20 foot move speed. However, a Tanuki's move speed is not reduced by wearing heavy armor or carrying a heavy load.
Polymorph Self at will. Just like their Kitsune counterparts, Tanuki are masters of transformation, and have more varied forms and possibilities than Kitsune can. They can use Polymorph Self as a Spell-Like ability, at will, except that the duration is changed to concentration.
LA: +2

make it quicken disguise self at will: much more fun and more balanced

or possibly 1/day per HD change into a favorite form (IIRC those immovable stone statues :D )

Ooooh, I wanna see some fluff on here!

What kind of level adjustment are you going for? They look like a +2 LA race right now.

or possibly 1/day per HD change into a favorite form (IIRC those immovable stone statues )

That's prolly a good idea, especially with those dang polymorphing loopholes :P

I'll have too agree with the above.

I don't understand why the big physical stat bumps and the penalties to mental stats. Aren't tanuki supposed to be wily tricksters, with lots of illusion and magic?

Hmm, perhaps a Wisdom bonus, and Dex penalty? The Tanuki I am familiar with are wiley, but are not exceptionally intelligent, nor very nimble.

Traditional tanuki have GIGANTIC balls. Like, throw-them-over-the-shoulder big, or beat-them-like-drums big.

Do yours?

...And is there any way that you can think of to represent that in terms of crunch? And if you say "Slam natural attack" I will so beat you.
